I feel like they should do a book; they have such a great twist on all their baked goods.
..high end but cool bakery and sandwich shop.
RELISH, 93 Commercial Street in the West End, Provincetown
Nestled in the quiet, residential neighborhood of Provincetown's west end, Relish is a convenient stop on the way to the beach. A selection of breakfast sandwiches, coffee cakes, muffins and scones for the early birds. Delicious, perfect sandwiches, cheeses, sweets and cookies for an oceanside picnic. Coffee, iced tea, water and soft drinks - of course.
Nothing fussy. Just the best ingredients available. Mesclun greens, quality deli meat, and your choice of healthy, fresh-baked bread.
Relish makes the best refreshing, cold gazpacho all summer long.
Ab Initio's 20th Anniversary Cookies
Relish offers a number of vegan, gluten-free, free range and organic options for you.
Quinoa with arugula and tomato.
Salmon on soba noodles
Everyone needs a treat.
What makes Relish a destination? Our cookies, cakes, panna cotta, key lime tarts, cream puffs, coconut macaroons, french almond macarons, pecan walnut bars, lemon squares, pistachio sandies, flourless chocolate pecan cookies, chocolate baby cakes... We could go on. No, really.
Too many choices.

Subject: Thank you!Hi!
I just wanted to thank you for existing. You would have no reason to remember me, unless you noticed the woman who was there three different times on Saturday morning (and I got something each time). Sadly, I was leaving Saturday, which is why I could only make three trips that day. And I had brunch plans that Friday, so I was only able to get coffee and a sticky bun that day.
It was only my second visit to Provincetown, but on my first trip, you weren’t open for the season. If I have the pleasure of returning, no kidding I will plan it around when you are open. Your baked goods are so amazing. I live in New York City and I worked at Martha Stewart for several years. So I have access to good baking. But there was something about your goods that was just so magical. Everything was so fresh and delicious, I could taste every ingredient. Your glazes are the stuff dreams are made of.
Basically, your bakery makes me sad I don’t believe in Heaven, because if I did, I could take comfort in the fact that death would simply be the transition to me eating your baked goods every day for all eternity.
So thank you for the work you do!
